I got my Beretta 92 mag Sub 2000 for $300 a couple years ago. I have never seen a new gun as dirty as my gun was when it arrived at my FFL, who actually tried to clean it up for me before I got there. I took it totally apart and there was powder and powder residue all over the inside of it. Dirty or not, it shoots great, I put 200 rounds of WWB through it without a hiccup, and after I added a buffer, the cheekpad/sleeve and a rail, it's a lot of fun. I put a cheap red dot scope on it, but haven't shot it to get it set up yet. I aimed it dead center with the front sight and it should be close. I can't imagine paying any more than $500 for one, but things are insane right now, so...
